I agree. The tutorial isn't very helpful. The navigation mission in my setup isn't the same as in the tutorial and I had trouble using the USNO almanac. I think it would be better to use the pdf almanacs in the thread, and possibly construct a special navigation mission for this.
Otherwise, I found
The Mathematics of the Longitude by Wong Lee Nah to be very helpful. I don't understand all the methods, but I think I can use the Intercept method well enough (for game purposes anyway).
One more thing, I wrote a simple program for my TI-85 to do the trig and number crunching. I highly recommend this approach.
